History of revenue documents used in British Burma is very complex. At different times and often enough simultaneously in British Burma different varieties of stamped papers were used e.g.:

* stamp papers of British India;
* stamp papers of British India with "BURMA" overprint;
* stamp papers specifically printed for British Burma;
* stamp papers specifically printed for British Burma with "MILY. ADMIN." overprint;
* stamp papers of British Burma with King George V (KGV) image used with Royal Cypher of King George VI (KGVI);
* stamp papers issued by Japanese during their occupation of Burma.

A Central Depot in Rangoon for the supply of stationery and stamps to the provinces of Burma and the Andamans was opened in March 1907. [Extract from the Introduction.]
